Not quite.  More like "being maintained but not enhanced".  This means that
without new volunteers, it probably won't support anything other than the
Apache pre-fork MPM.  It has way fewer active developers than mod_jk*, but
that is not the same as "none".

Current enhancements improve the support for all threaded servers (i.e.
Apache2[non-pre-fork]/IIS/iPlanet).  On *nix platforms, there is also
support for Unix-Sockets (which should out-perform the default TCP-Sockets).
If you want to use JNI to connect to Tomcat, than this is the only way to
go.  Current support is for Apache-1.3.x, Apache2, IIS, (and less active,
iPlanet).  Full support for Tomcat 3.3.x, Tomcat 4.1.x and Tomcat 5.x.
Partial support for Tomcat 3.2.x (native-only), and Tomcat 4.0.x (you need
to build the classes for yourself, not hard).

IMHO, well worth deploying and testing if you have a non-production box to
do it on.
